Food Drive Door Prize Giveaway
We are pleased to collaborate with Together We Achieve as our partner charity for the 2026-2027 year. Working together we are collecting food donations at the entrance of our October, November and January Markets.
No one in our community should have to wonder where their next meal will come from. That is why the Made in Iowa Fall Market and Scarecrow Festival is partnering with Together We Achieve to collect nonperishable food donations for local individuals and families in need.
Please bring an eligible food donation and help us turn a fun fall weekend into meaningful support for families throughout the Cedar Rapids area.
BRING FOOD & WIN DOOR PRIZES!
Bring non-perishable food items and drop them off in the lobby with our friends from Together We Achieve.
For every non-perishable item you donate, you receive a ticket to enter the vendor door-prize drawings!
And YOU get to decide which prizes you want to enter your tickets for. 
HOW IT WORKS:
Bring non-perishable food items to the lobby and drop them off with the Together We Achieve team.
ONE ITEM = ONE DOOR-PRIZE TICKET!
And YOU get to decide which prize drawings you want to enter! Get the list of participating vendors at the show. Visit their booth. See a prize you love? Put your tickets into that drawing!
And there’s no limit to how many different prizes you can enter — the more food you bring, the more chances you have to win!
Put a cell phone number on the back of your ticket(s) so vendors can text or call if you win. Door prizes must be picked up at vendor booths, during show hours. Last pickup time is 3 pm the last day of the show.
Drawing schedule to be announced soon!
DOOR PRIZE VENDORS will be announced closer to the show.
We have an AMAZING group of Made in Iowa vendors donating door prizes.
